Chaton (シャトン, Shaton) is a cat girl who was a member of the Chess Pieces and the strongest Bishop, which her power was on par to the lowest Knight. She deserted the Chess after the War Games to stay around her crush Alan.

Appearance

Before her match with Alan, Chaton wore a purple cloak. After discarding it, she was revealed as a young dark-skin woman with dark brown cat ears and a matching-colored tail.

Personality

She has a crush on Alan, much to his distaste, as Alan who was ridiculously in contrast to his looks and due to an ironic twist of his situation with Ed, is a cat phobic. She is good friends with Loco, even though Chaton is quick to get on Loco's nerves.

History

Second Great MÄR Heaven War

War Games

Round 6

Chaton and her Knight class teammates arrive onto the battlefield for the sixth round, each hiding their identity with cloaks and Ian donning a mask. When Alan volunteers to go first for Team MÄR, Magical Roe tells Chaton to be his opponent. She obediently jumps below onto the arena, displaying agility and light-footedness. In contrast, when Alan joined her, the arena briefly shook from his weight landing. He beckoned her to remove her cloak, calling her "Knight". Chaton corrected him that, unlike her teammates, she was a Bishop. Team MÄR presumed confidence in Alan's victory immediately, but Chaton giggled that of she was was not to be underestimated as she was in fact the strongest Bishop of the Chess Pieces. Alan respectfully accepted Chaton's challenge.

Alan frantically dodges Chaton's Para Claw.

Once Pozun declares the match to start, Chaton immediately runs forward to jump in the air to remove her cloak, revealing feline appearance. Alan immediately ask for someone to switch with him but Pozun informs him that once a match begins switching members isn't allowed. Chaton meanwhile activates the Weapon ÄRM, Para Claw, which creates claws of energy on Chaton's hands. Chaton makes several attack but Alan dodges them all but panics each time. Alviss comments that Alan doesn't normally fight in that manner while Ginta yells for Alan to use his Air Hammer. An agitated Alan tells him to shut up and that he knows what he's doing. Alan launches an Air Hammer that collides with Chaton. Chaton that begins crying that that attack hurt.

Snow, realizing why he's fighting the so differently, tells everyone that Alan has a cat allergy. Alviss and the group begin to comment and mock Alan for this feline phobia he inherently got from being fused with a dog. Chaton begins to laugh realizing Alan's allergy gives her an advantage in the fight. Alan tells Chaton not to get too close because his Air Hammer will still send Chaton flying. Chaton suggest that she'll just have to make Alan come to her and summons the Nature ÄRM, Cat Teaser. As Chaton waves the ÄRM around Alan's body begins to move on its own and begins walking towards Chaton. Alan gets closer and closer until he is within range of Chaton's Para Claw and gets slashed across the chest. After being struck by Chaton's attack Alan realizes that her attack induces paralysis leaving Alan open to the barrage of blows Chaton rains down on Alan. While Alan lies on the ground realizing he shouldn't have gone first Chaton stands over Alan and unexpectedly give him a kiss commenting that he's cute. Alan rolls on the ground shouting in horror.

Alan tells Chaton that he's really gotten angry now and digs in his pocket for the ÄRM he acquired in Caldea, for it only for his face to go blank. Ginta and the others realize that Alan forgot to even bring the new ÄRM and once again begin to mock him. Chaton laughs at him again and decides to bring an end to their match, summoning her Guardian ÄRM, Bururu. Alan recollects himself at the sight of the giant bulldog guardian and smirks, saying that if it's a dog then he'll just take it out in one hit. Alan delivers a single punch to the guardian and destroys it. As the dust settles, his confident face turns to bamboozlement when he sees Chaton readying her final attack, who explains that Bururu was simply a distraction. Gathering enough energy in her hands, she releases her Nyan Nyan Wave and the impact sends Alan flying. As he lies defeated, Alan mumbles that he really hates cats. Pozun declares Chaton the victor.

Aftermath

During Halloween and Alan's battle, Chaton and Loco kept arguing over who would win while watching from a castle balcony. During Phantom and Ginta Toramizu's battle, after Ginta's Puss in Boots was introduced, Chaton commented that it is "the greatest Guardian ever", making her the only one who took it seriously. Of course, it's likely due to that she is fond of cats.

After the War Games

In the anime, after the War Games are completed, she and Loco, while traveling through the desert, get captured by the Ghost Chess along with Team MÄR.

The Flat Sisters activate Rotkäppchen Waltzer to stop Alviss from ascending up the stairs to Clavier. They leap into the air to drop Apple Bombs upon all of their opponents. Chaton dodges the bombs in front of her by backflipping, but is caught in the explosive force of a bomb behind her, sending her flying across the ground. Rotkäppchen Waltzer approaches Chaton as she lay unconscious, and attempts to step on her with two spikes protrude out from the bottom, but is stopped when Loco casts her Negzero to paralyze it, and uses her Straw Doll, Hammer, and Spikes one last time to save Chaton. When she wakes up in Alan's arms, she initially assumes he saved her, but he gives credit to Loco as they both look up to where she stood. Realizing what Loco did in spite of the consequences of her Darkness ÄRMs, she ascends the stairs to find Loco's clothes and open suitcase. Fearing the worse, her hand shakes as she slowly lifts up the dress, and thankfully finds Loco still exists, albeit having been reduced to an infant. Unable to contain her emotions, she cries as she holds Loco in her arms. Alan tries to comfort her from her guilt over Loco's sacrifice, but she quickly changes her mood at the thought of her and Alan becoming Loco's new parents.

When the Flat Sisters reactivate Rotkäppchen Waltzer to fight back against Dorothy's Rock Giant Golem, Loco looks over Chaton's shoulder to observe. She realizes that the curse from her Negzero was still in effect on the Ghost Guardian, and now that she was de-aged back into an infant, was unable to remove the curse and noted that the girls trying to move while under the curse would be extremely dangerous. Nonetheless, the girls struggle, only to be forcefully ejected from Rotkäppchen Waltzer and deactivates, leaving the sisters in critical condition.

Chaton is quick to begin taking care of Loco, and later watches the death of Alan to King, much to her horror.

During Alan's last moments, he gives Chaton his earring and she seeks out other Chess Piece members and interrogates them on King's current location. After King is defeated, Chaton lives together with Alan and Babbo, who help take care of Loco.
